The architect John Soane's former country house is undergoing a £12 million conservation project in order to strip away later alterations and additions and hence restore the house to a state that would be more recognisable to Soane. A Victorian addition to the north (right) of the main block has been removed (compare with Image]); the two central pilasters on the revealed wall were lost and replacements have been carved. It will re-open to the public in summer 2018 as an art gallery and restaurant natch.
